Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks
The UL Monroe Warhawks are at a pivotal point in their season, with a three-game losing streak and coming off a devastating 55-7 loss to South Alabama. Their offense has been a mixed bag, obtaining an average of 325 yards per game, with Hunter Smith performing brightly, accumulating 277 yards and two touchdowns on 38 carries. This is especially concerning due to the absence of starting quarterback Hunter Herring due to a collarbone injury. The defense has been equally as concerning, allowing an average of 454.4 yards per game, making it difficult for the Warhawks to contain their opponents. Presently, they have a 2-3 record and are ranked #107 in offense (averaging 21.00 points per game) and #89 in defense (allowing 28.75 points per game). In order to regain momentum, the Warhawks will need to find a way to win and drastically improve on both offense and defense. The defensive line will need to dig deep to disrupt their opponents' rhythm and give their offense a fighting chance.
